SmartStores

To spark sales growth, Canadian Tire is opening “small market” stores designed for smaller towns and testing “smart stores,” which will focus on higher-profit products with improved store organization and display.

The company has already opened two of the small market stores and will open two more later this year. It plans to open two smart stores this year, and expects 25 more to follow in 2009.
